Slow Magic – “Girls” (Stereogum Premiere)
We loved fox-faced electronic producer Slow Magic’s previous work, whether he was unspooling his own funky-yet-melancholy constructions or remixing other people’s music. Apparently, so did Downtown Records. They’ve signed Slow Magic, and today they’re releasing his latest single. “Girls” is built from a gleaming, pulsating loop that will resonate with fans of former tourmate Gold Panda, its wordless vocals and guitar lines chopped-up in an ethereal swirl. Let it beam brightly into your life below.
“Girls” is out today via Downtown. Buy it here, and check out Slow Magic on tour in North America this fall:
